European Majors Weaken on Bunch of Bad News

Euro extends recent slide against dollar, and takes other European majors down as more bad news came out of Europe. Portugal's credit rating was downgraded by Fitch yesterday from BBB- to BB+ with a negative outlook, i.e., into junk status. Fitch said the country's sovereign credit profile is "no longer consistent" with an investment grade rating due to "large fiscal imbalances, high indebtedness across all sectors, and adverse macroeconomic outlook". In response to the downgrade, Barclays Capital will cut Portugal government debts from its Euro Treasury Index. While Citigroup will keep it in its European Government Bonds and World Government Bonds indices, it noted that another one-notch downgrade from S&P will take Portugal out of the index. Talking about downgrades, Moody's also lowered Hungary's foreign- and local-currency bond rating by one notch from Baa3 to Ba1, also at junk level as there are uncertainties on the government's ability to meet its target of fiscal consolidation and debt reduction.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.9140

Although the greenback has maintained a firm undertone after finding renewed buying interest at 0.9154 yesterday, as long as resistance at 0.9237 holds, another retreat towards 0.9130/35 cannot be ruled out, however, reckon support at 0.9108 would remain intact and bring another rise later. A sustained breach of said resistance at 0.9237 would confirm recent rise from 0.8568 has resumed and extend gain to 0.9261

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Buy at 1.3255

Although the single currency has remained under pressure after meeting renewed selling at 1.3412 yesterday and recent decline may extend weakness to 1.3285-90 (50% projection of 1.3568-1.3321 measuring from 1.3412), loss of downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below there and reckon 1.3255-60 (61.8% projection) would limit downside, bring rebound later.
